We are delighted to meet with the Latin American community this week at #OpenAmerica in Brasilia 🇧🇷, co-hosted by @okbr.

Bom dia, Brasília! This week I will be at #OpenAmerica /América Aberta, so I will be posting about #opendata, #opengov, #AI —especially the state of the art in Brazilian #datajournalism, and reflections on where our movement is a decade(!) in.

They booked me at a hotel designed by Oscar Niemeyer himself! 🤩 #midcenturymodern

🌐The Open Meeting for an Open Region is one of the tracks of this year's #OpenAmerica, and is one of the main and oldest events in Latin America focused on the discussion of open data.

📌 The cool thing is that it has an open, flexible, and unrestricted format - hence the idea of an unconference. This year, Open Knowledge Brasil is the civil society organization responsible for holding Abrelatam.
